Washing DISASTER!

[gizmo]

similar thing happened to me not long ago -

I did up a Bendix FL, 1996 model. (25th anniversary of Bendix Australia 1971 - 1996 is stencilled on the controls panel.)
Gave it to my next door neighbour, she keeps it in her shed for washing dog blankets, etc. She went away for a week, I came over each day to walk and feed her dogs. I noticed a couple of dog blankets next to the Bendix so as a favour I put them in the washer and put it on, returned the next day it was still washing! Motor sounded a bit laboured, (brushes a touch noisy) otherwise OK. I had forgotten on this machine the heater didn't work, you have to set it past a certain point on the dial or it gets to the heat position and advances no further. I have now bypassed the thermostat so it doesn't get stuck...
Being a front loader, the blankets were completely unharmed, and very very clean.

Chris.

Just a warning!

I'm with Gansky1 and Lightedcontrols about leaving your applances run while your not their or sleeping as a friend of my where I work a year ago him and his wife went home for lunch and she put a load of clothes in the dryer and went back to work. Well about ten minutes later the office was calling him to go back home as his house was on fire and they lost pretty much everything and now has a new house. Please people if you do anything please don't leave the house with your dryer and washer running. Thank you! Dan

Oh Jon what a story, I bet those are now the most comfortable jeans that you own. I am just thankful that nothing happened while that poor machine ran for 12 hours. I bet that you won't ever let this happen again.LOl Terry

Jon, I'm sorry this happened. Glad the 1/18 is ok and survived. I figured you would have known better. And Greg, I agree, I vote for Daisy Dukes for Jon next summer. I'll be glad to assist with determining the new length ;-)

Ya talk about "damich"

Ming yuh fahtch !

What an eye-opener! And what a deligtful, enlightening, entertaining thread.

Those jeans--are they indeed a hundred dollar pair--or More? Look at that cool weave; it's like the old herring bone opened to a swivel.

Jon, I was not Aworg born in 2005, and I'm so glad you resurrected this wonderful thread, and to Eugene, if you see this: Remember when you said you weren't sure when you arrived? Well, you were here way back in 05.

Thank you for the reincarnation, Jon.
